I just finished my morning tea and came back to hostel, on
down stairs I found 1 person with nervousness also with some amount of
hope too. But I didn't see much to him as we just shifted to hostel only to
face final exam as our college located at Nipani 70 km away from Belgaum. And we
also feel afraid to talk someone during exam period thinking that if mentor
will observe us, then he will complaint to our principal. And hence just direct
went to the room with my batch mate.
After 15 to 20 minutes one student of this hostel knocked the
door and said "Anyone of you having Blood group of A+ve", I directly
spoke Yes I am having A Positive, who wants?
Simultaneously I opened the door and see the same person who
was roaming downstairs with some unique characteristics. And I asked him what
happened who requires blood?
"My Brother needs 1 unit of A Positive blood" he
responded; I said Ok but why? From where are you?
He replied "We basically from Goa, but my brother had
accident and hence we need to come Belgaum far across a way to had surgery of
left lower limb and for that he needs Blood and we have no money now so
required on free basis" I quickly responded I will give and he returned
hospital and told me with smile please do come at 1.00 PM. I said yes, don't worry.
After his exit from the room, my few friends told that you
don't need to go, who knows what to happen at there, and he seems to be
alcoholic and smells badly. So don't go. I replied "but Yaar, I promised
him if I would not visit then what happen to him and his brother" One of
my friend looked at me with sharped eye and told that "Don't think that
you are Raja Harishchandra, he will manage the thing for his brother, you just
concentrate on you study as tomorrow will be practical exam of Pharmacognosy"
and he shrugged at me and I became quite on his indication.
11.45 AM
All friends discussing about tomorrow's exam and I was
wondering about that guy who came in the morning for help and I said yes to
him. I was thinking about his condition how he would manage unit of blood? How
his brother would survive if he will not get the A +ve Donor?" Meanwhile
someone shouted that come for lunch and I suddenly became panic having in mind
that time is near to 1.00 PM what to happen with him?
We went to cafeteria and took lunch and finally time reaches
to 12.55 PM, and outside of cafeteria the auto has come and that guy was there,
now I am in ambiguity of what to do? How to say "No" to him? I
started to walk after leaving cafeteria towards hostel without staring anywhere
across the way. I just complete 6 to 7 feet of distance and the person ran
quickly and came to me and he started to talk rushly "Hello Sir, Now it is
1.00 PM, you promised me to give 1 unit of your blood as discussed in morning,
please come, I brought auto for you, for this you do not need to pay as I
already paid to him, you just came with me."
And the same time my friend Manish arrived there, he shrugged
at me what happen, let's go to the hostel, don't waste time. And finally
replied to that guy (Sadly)"Sorry Boss, I can't come with you as my
parents denied to do so as my exam is ongoing, hence please search another donor definitely
you may get other donor"
After finishing to him, I just started to walk towards hostel
with my friend-Manish, simultaneously he fell down on my feet and was keeping
request to me that "please do come, you are only the hope for us, please
don't deny my request. Please...please...."
and then it was become difficult for me as I was not able to
see his such kind of condition. Finally I raised him from my feet and gave him
condolences upon my act on him and also shown my will for blood donation to his
brother. Now the task for me to convince Manish Regarding this as he also
needed to come with me to accompany me and that may also cause disturbance to
his study because final exam was ongoing.
But it was amazing that Manish was easily convinced and ready
to come with me to donate blood in biggest hospital located 1 km away from
hospital. We were at hospital within 10 minutes, it took another 20 minutes to
visit blood bank of hospital located at I think 3rd or 4th Floor Not Sure but
it took lot time to access the blood bank. Finally reached to Blood bank, the
receptionist asked us to wait for next 15 to 20 minutes, then technician has come
and first time I have donated blood and that was also directly needy patient.
After bandage, milk and Biscuits I was trying to come
out from the bed, at that time that person came to me and gave my shoes
from his hands to directly my feet with tear filled eyes. The moment I am
explaining which was so amazing rather I can say such emotional that I don't
believe what wonder I have done in those minutes. Really it was wonderful
creation.
Meanwhile the person (still I don't know his name) was
checking something in his all pockets, and finally he found Rs 100/- note and
he was offering me 100 rupees and said that this much only I can offer to you.
And with the same respect I returned the same to him and told "please
procure fruits for your brother from the market. Please"
Then I came back with my friend Manish, in the way between
hospital and hostel Manish asked me "Does he require another unit of
blood, I am also ready to give"
